Tom Monaghan started Dominoes pizza more than 50 years ago after overcoming many challenges in his life. Along with his brother, Tom bought a single pizza restaurant called DomiNicks. After a year of business he named the place Dominoes Pizza,simplified his pizza, and made millions. In 1999, Tom Monaghan sold the Dominoes Pizza Chain for 1 billion dollars.
Today, Dominoes is overcoming many challenges itself. Due to the recent decline in sales, Dominoes relaunched its new pizza recipe in order to reestablish its company name and continue to make and sale pizza. The plan worked and Dominoes Pizza chain has seen an increase in their pizza sales ever since they launched their new pizza recipe.

Dominoes Pizza has hired you and your team to design a new menu for their restaurant. They would like you to incorporate fractions as a way for people to order their pizzas. They would also like for the menu to include pictures, prices, locations, phone numbers, and any other important information you think is necessary. You will present the menu to Dominoes in a meeting held at their corporate office in one week. You may use any method to present your idea such as posters, web 2.0 tools, Powerpoint, etc.
